Passengers on the Red Line are experiencing significant delays right now, as a report of smoke in the tunnel between the Medical Center and Grosvenor Metro stations caused single-tracking of trains. Firefighters who responded to the report said they saw no smoke in the tunnel or platform areas. A WMATA Emergency Response Team went into the tunnel, located the arcing insulator that caused the smoke, and reported it is now fixed, according to scanner reports.

Metro is reporting Metrobuses are currently bypassing the Medical Center station, and that trains from Silver Spring "will operate to Friendship Heights" for now.

So the church is asking for roughly .1% of the population of Bethesda (meanwhile change.org allows people from anywhere in the world to sign including bots) in order to get what they want. Sounds about right, a very loud few whining until they get what they want.
